Naming Multiples

We have a high occurance of twins in my family as well. I have younger twin brothers and their names are [name]Allen[/name] [name]Dale[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Darnell[/name]. They’ve never had a problem with their names being too “matchy” and my mother named us all after our father and we quite enjoy having similar names.

On a related note… there is no twin gene and having twins isn’t really genetic. The tendancy for hyperovulation, however, gives the appearance of a twin gene that seems to skip generations when passed on to a daughter through her father.
